Also let's you see what people are thinking that are not politicians or journalists, just the every day person and their experiences with everything going on.

Not seen anywhere on the BBC or Sky News or other "mainstream" places about the white lad attacked by a group of 4 "african (don't know 100%)" lads only to be rushed by a female police officer who doesn't announce herself and then arrests him for "assaulting a police officer" and then calls him a "D**khead* when forcing him in to a police car the wrong way, whilst letting the "aggressors" and "attackers" run away.

I have not seen a lot about it so I cannot say for sure that it is exactly how it sounds but if it is exactly how it sounds, then it's another example of the police arresting a victim of assault whilst helping the aggressors or letting them go.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

I use you tube for some news eg what's happening in Ukraine as the Trump/Iran issue has been more of the MSM reporting because I intend going there again soon.

But did this actually happen? Because it has all the hallmarks of some made up AI bull***t.

Think about it, you are suggesting that a police officer (female or otherwise) saw a single white person, apparently attacking four others (brave of him), felt the need to intervene, without identifying themselves (not in uniform then), and then a police car appears - by the way how do you force someone in, ‘the wrong way’?

The reason you haven’t seen it on the BBC or Sky or other mainstream (let’s say responsible outlets) is simply because it never happened. It was a lie. But, of course if you really want to trust the cesspit of social media to provide you ‘news’, knock yourself out!

Of course if you can provide evidence, links to video footage (not obvious AI generated slop), then I will be the first to back down and apologise for doubting you.

It did happen, but the white lad was being attacked not attacking like you say, and the police arrested him for being a victim whilst letting the 4 black lads go!

The likes of the BBC etc are not reporting on it, decide yourself why that is, but there is one clear thing that has come out since the Henry Nowak incident and that is that Police are under clear instructions to always assume the White person is the "aggressor" or "perpetrator" when the "Altercation" etc is between Black and White, and people may not like that but there is proof and it has been shown on the news that the police, are under clear instructions to treat people differently depending on skin colour!

The GB News link has a bit about the "Treat people differently depending on the colour of their skin".


Here is the story about the white lad being arrested after being attacked:

The Telegraph
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...-by-black-men/

NDTV
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/uk-m...-fled-11725534

Hungarian Conservative
https://www.hungarianconservative.co...-by-black-men/

GB News, like them or not at least they are covering it.
https://www.gbnews.com/news/west-mid...ice-birmingham

Story has not been on Sky News, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 or any UK "Mainstream" news channel from what I can see.

I hope the police in the Henry Nowak case are sent to Prison for essentially what could be and should be classed as "Aiding and Abetting / Joint Enterprise" the murder of Henry Nowak. They did this by failing to do their duty as police officers and first responders as he may have had a chance at surviving if the police had done there job instead of arresting him, taking the murderer into his house so he could get something to eat, allowing his brother and mother to conceal evidence and commit fraud, all the while Henry Nowak was dying on the ground in hand cuffs!

I hope the police in this recent incident are arrested and charged with Assault and failing to do their duty as well as clear racism and biases.

Police should be held accountable and when it's clear as day that they were biased and racist they should be removed from there jobs!


In this case the Birmingham Police department have demanded the footage not be shown because it "shows a false narrative" however it shows exactly that the Police let the attacker go and arrested a white lad.

It's two tier policing and this is the sort of news that you will not see without "Independent Journalists" and people being able to share content, because the Government do not want you to see what they have turned the police into, they do not want you to see what they are doing to the country unless it's something they want shown!

https://x.com/BrumPolice/status/2072658292921315560

Here is the thread with more videos on Twitter/X.

https://x.com/Re_mi_gra_tion/status/2072389805032305037

I just want to make it clear, I do not agree with the way it's phrased on that twitter post or the posts after, or a lot of the comments on the tweets.



Mark my words though, things are going to get worse, both from a censorship point of view, a policing view, and I am fairly confident there is going to end up with "Vigilante Justice" taking place on the streets and against people deemed to have "done wrong".

I do not agree with that aspect the whole vigilante justice, I think if people want to do something they need to do it properly and legally, but I will be able to understand the frustration behind it as I am sure many will, from all walks of life.

OK fine, but the video clips you link to don't exactly match your deathless prose description of what happened does it? A ‘white’ lad being attacked by four ‘africans?’, when a woman police office wades in (without identifying herself, despite being in uniform) and just arrested the 'white lad’ for no reason. It gives the impression of this ‘white lad’ laying on the floor, having the proverbial kicked out of him by four Africans’ when the police turn up and basically say, ‘right off you go lads, we’ll take it form here, and arrest the ‘white lad’ for basically damaging the ‘Aficans' shoes’.

Except that’s not what the video shows it is?

I saw one person attempting to hold two others apart, attempting to defuse the situation. I see one, maybe two people assault ‘white lad’, knock him down and run off, clearly pursued by another police officer.

The ‘white lad’ does clearly assault the police office, which is why he was arrested, oh and clearly was resisting being put in the car.

Now self defence is NOT a claim to not be arrested, it is a defence against conviction.

Hypothetically, I live in an isolated cottage, and have a valid firearms licence. One night my home is broken into, I fear for my life and threaten the assailants with my shotgun’, they ignore it and advance and I shoot them dead.

I immediately call the police, who arrive and find two dead bodies and me with a shotgun; of course I’ll be arrested; which is good, because it actually gives me certain rights.

The police will do their investigation, find that both assailants were shot in the front, (not in the back hence running away), one had a knife....the CPS wouldn’t touch this with a barge pole; obvious case of self defence, no jury will convict.

Sometimes things are more complex then they might seem at first.

The lad is knocked to the ground, when he get's up and female police officer rushes him, says nothing to him but slams against a wall, anyone would lash out especially when being attacked!

Just because you think you would be able to determine a police office wearing a black jacket from a group of lads attacking you, doesn't make it true for everyone, especially when drink is involved.

There was no copper chasing after any of the lads that assaulted him, she walked over and had a chat and let them go, which is why the Police are now trying to identify them because the POLICE LET THEM GO!!! after committing assault, whilst arresting the victim of the assault!

You can try to dress it up as much as you want, the racist coppers arrested a victim of assault because it's their policy to arrest white people even if they are the victim of the crime!

I would also be resisting being shoved in a car, especially when I was arrested purely for being white, a victim of assault by 4 men and a female police officer who was more interested in committing assault herself that trying to arrest the people who had just assaulted someone, because her actions were clearly assault, if you go with the current "you cannot put a finger on me" left wing nutjob attitudes!

This would not be heard about if it were not for the public, hence why I posted in here, because the Police tried to stop the footage being shown, the government have tried to stop the footage being shown, and now because the government don't like that people can share footage showing the police and government doing what they are, they are trying to control just like North Korea what you can see and what you cannot!



Again the OSA is not about kids, and now we have Burnham saying he is going to restrict VPN's oh the joys of living in North Korea 2!
